Before the potters wheel pots were made from slabs of clay that were placed together, or by making snakes of clay and coiling them together. It would be easy to allow a small hole to be in the clay and so make the pot useless using these methods.
The wheel allows a pot to be made from one piece of clay which would be more watertight. (A glaze is still required to make it fully watertight)
Also the speed of making pots on a wheel is much greater than doing it by hand and so mass production is much easier. P.S.: i mean something other than that :)
